Week 10 - Bleeding

Lori decided to go to the Chambersburg Mall to do a little shopping. She was walking through the mall when she realized she was having another bleeding moment.

The next day we went to the doctor. This time they thought it was possibly due to the placenta rubbing against a small phybroid Lori has on her uteris. The doctor again suggested rest and relaxation for Lori until the bleeding subsided.

The good thing about the doctor's visit was we got to see Pebbles again and hear the heart beat for the very first time, 170 beats per minute. The doctor said that the baby was healthy and at this time it is about a 1/2" long. About the size of a kidney bean.

Week 6 - Excitement and Depression

We were so excited about having a child until the last few days. Lori has had some bleeding that concerned her enough to go to the doctor.

The doctor thought it was coming from implantation of the embryo into the uterine wall. He suggested Lori take care of herself by resting and keeping her feet up.

This incident caused both of us to tell our parents that they are going to be grandparents. It is not the way we wanted to do it but we felt we had to tell them the situation.

My father received a great Birthday present yesterday.... the first image of his grandchild. My mother immediately nicknamed it "Pebbles" since it is only about a 1/4" in size.
